Oxygen breathes new life into solar cell research and makes it more affordable

Recent research studies have finally figured a way to convert different wavelengths of light into a form of power using new solar cells. The new process involves a high amount of energy harvesting from a new source of energy ‘invisible light’ which is used in the solar cells. This has been a significant boost thanks to new technology. Scientists in the United States of America and Australia have finally turned low energy light into heavy energy light which can be captured by solar cells using ‘oxygen’ as the main ingredient.

Researchers from the ARC Center of Excellence in Exciton Science and UNSW Sydney found this extraordinary way to capture the energy of the sun. The method of converting low and non-visible light to generate power.
